				<title>Metropolitan Areas</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I began adding US metro areas last night as "economic region" (RGNE).  The table I was drawing from was here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Core_Based_Statistical_Areas.  These are agglomerations of populated areas that have begun to assume a cohesive entity for local description purposes and population size (i.e. Tampa Bay for the cities close to Tampa, FL).  Generally this has nothing to do with administrative division.  I was wondering if economic region RGNE was the correct feature code or maybe PPLS would be a better code?  I wasn't quite sure the semantics of those.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ RGNE is the correct code. PPLS stands for a group of buildings, smaller than a neighbourhood.
